Advice on Fake Comic Con Figures

You might have a custom Bizarro printed by onlinesailin. I have one and its a near identical match to the actual thing except the muscle print is a different, older design. It is also machine printed, so it has that texture and reflection to it as you said yours does. This version is the only machine printed custom I've seen that could be passed off as the real thing if not looked at closely.

How different is the muscle print? Mine is identical to the actual Bizarro as far as I can tell.

Look up images of Lego blue batman and the results should show both the 2006 and 2012 versions. If it's not easy to tell apart, the 2006 muscle print with the large bat symbol has 3 lines on the sides of its abs while the 2012 version with the yellow symbol has two lines. The custom Bizarro I have uses the 2006 version.

Wow, thanks Raptor! This nailed it. I indeed had a custom with the 3 rib lines. I will contact the seller. Thank you so much! I can't believe I totally missed that.

Beware, people! There are sellers intentionally or unintentionally selling customs as originals, and the card on mine looks identical. Definitely feel the print!

That's pretty bad. I own three original SDCC figures and three pad printed customs. I also own a couple of bootlegs which have been updated with genuine parts where possible and they're very, very good which is why I won't be spending over the odds on them.

I've recreated the cards for the first couple of years figures and had them digitally printed but they're just for me.

If you don't mind me asking... Any chance of sending me the link to the seller?

Well, to be honest, I don't want to create a bad rep for this seller unless I have a strong suspicion that he sold me a custom Bizarro on purpose. He bought the figure from someone else, and I suspect he was ripped off. I'll keep you posted.
